Surface Go 2, or something else? (lemmy.world)

A family member gave me an old convertible Chromebook, which I (of course) installed Linux on for the fun of it. It has convinced me there's a place in my life for a Linux tablet, though it's not quite the right device for me.

The Surface Go 2 seems about right with less size and more memory than the Chromebook, but I figured I should ask if people like anything else. Here are some preferences:

500-600g weight seems about right; the Chromebook is 1100g and that's a bit much
10" or so, 3:2 or 4:3, nothing more oblong
Pressure-sensitive stylus support
Expandable storage - an SSD I can swap without a heat gun is ideal, but an SD card slot will do
Headphone jack
x86-64, not ARM
8gb RAM
$100ish for used B-grade

For $100 nothing that I'm familiar with that would be better. Like maybe some second hand Chuwi PC tablet is good but I've never tried them. I got a used Dell 7320 detachable PC tablet 3 ago and the prices are a bit down compared to 3 years ago. What I got for ~$400 is like ~$250-300 now
